Peeling back the layers of the functional alcoholic or functional addict mask reveals a complex and often alarming inner world. While everything may seem fine on the surface, underneath lies a torrent of troubling thoughts and emotions.

We delve into the intricacies of their thought processes, shedding light on the constant struggle and preoccupation with addictive behaviors. As we navigate through their minds, we uncover the persistent anxiety they experience in social situations, always on guard about others' drinking or drug use. These individuals are perpetually seeking opportunities to engage in addictive behaviors, often at the expense of their well-being.
By exploring the internal landscape of functional alcoholics and addicts, we aim to increase understanding and empathy for their plight.
